Ever since its debut at Sundance in 1989, Soderbergh's Sex, Lies, and Videotape has served as the inspiration for dozens of quirky, supposedly erotic, and ultimately lame knock-offs. I think that the knock-offs' root problem is the fact that the original wasn't very good to begin with. Sex, Lies, and Videotape is an interesting film, and presents some very intriguing ideas. It's just a shame that Soderbergh's script lacks the proper insight and characterization to delve into them. Even more disappointing are the performances; while Peter Gallagher is quite good as usual (he even makes The O.C. semi-tolerable at times), Andie MacDowell is boring and James Spader's performance feels too much like acting student work. An okay movie, with a good premise, but fails to really deliver.
